Keen battle for the lead between Obelos, Rockford Files and Choncape in advance of Club Punter and Keep Swinging. AL RANCHERO (1) rocketed home from the back over 1200m here first-up in a very eye-catching effort, beaten 3.2L. Now out in trip and with a run under his belt, he looks ready to get back to winning ways. Nicely placed from the alley and with 2kgs coming off, he'll take plenty of beating. TUNDRA (4) is another who ran on strongly from beyond midfield, finishing 2.2L off the winner over 1100m a fortnight ago. The wide draw is some concern, but he did cross and lead from a wide draw two back. Racing well and can continue his good run of form today. SASSY ANGEL (8) has never raced on this track but she brings good Turf form to this event. Not afar away at Oakbank or Balaklava her past couple in much tougher events. Likely to put her best foot forward. CLUB PUNTER (3) is on the quick back up today and is not to be discounted. LINES OF GLORY (6) won't be far away if he runs up to recent efforts. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Al Ranchero.
